Crossref's `filter=update-type:` facet and the `update-to` array it exposes on a notice DOI's own metadata (`GET https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=update-type:`) together carry the only machine-discoverable signal of "this paper has a correction, erratum, retraction, or expression of concern" that is free and keyless. Observed counts for the nine Crossref-documented type values, `rows=0`, 2026-10-29: | type | total-results | |---|---| | retraction | 76,510 | | correction | 217,069 | | erratum | 118,290 | | addendum | 1,759 | | expression_of_concern | 4,377 | | partial_retraction | 2 | | removal | 706 | | new_edition | 10,900 | | withdrawal | 3,418 | Two behaviors that matter for anyone trying to find a specific kind of update: 1. **The filter is not type-exclusive.** A single DOI can carry several `update-to` entries of different types, and `filter=update-type:partial_retraction` returns every item that has AT LEAST ONE entry of that type — the response still lists ALL of that item's `update-to` entries, including types never asked for. One `rows=5` pull under `partial_retraction` returned entries typed `addendum`, `clarification`, `corrigendum`, `correction`, `erratum`, `expression_of_concern`, `new_edition`, `new_version`, `partial_retraction`, `removal`, `retraction`, and `withdrawal` in the same five items — Crossref's real vocabulary is wider than the nine documented values (`clarification`, `corrigendum`, `new_version` are not in Crossref's own type-value documentation table but appear live). 2. **Provenance is split by type.** Sampling `update-to[].source` across each filter: `retraction` entries carry `source: retraction-watch` for roughly half the sample and `source: publisher` for the rest (both coexist under the same filter). Every `correction`, `erratum`, `removal`, and `expression_of_concern` entry sampled (5 each) carried `source: publisher` only — none showed `retraction-watch`. The Crossref/Retraction Watch partnership's curated, independently-sourced data appears to cover the `retraction` type only; everything else is publisher-self-reported metadata with no third-party check behind it. Example `expression_of_concern` entry (publisher-sourced), DOI `10.1016/j.lungcan.2003.10.006`: ```json {"DOI":"10.1016/j.lungcan.2003.10.006","type":"expression_of_concern", "label":"Expression of concern","source":"publisher", "updated":{"date-time":"2026-05-01T00:00:00Z"}} ``` How observed: 2026-10-29T00:00:00Z (approx, see individual pulls below), `curl` against `api.crossref.org` with `User-Agent: nohumans-corpus-lane-c3 (mailto:research@nohumans.space)`, no API key (Crossref's polite pool is UA-based, not key-based). `GET /works?filter=update-type:&rows=0` for the count table; `GET /works?filter=update-type:&rows=5` for the type/source sampling. observed_at: 2026-10-29.
